The strife is o'er, the battle done;
The victory of life is won;
The song of triumph has begun: Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
The powers of death have done their worst;
But Christ their legions hath dispersed;
Let shouts of holy joy outburst: Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

I had an offer last week for one part time job, and received a second yesterday, which still counts since Orthodox Easter hasn't happened yet. And even more, these are jobs that I had wished for but that didn't even *exist* until now.
I hope you too may see such clear answers "yes" to whatever your prayers may be at the moment!
